History
Eguchi Station opened on 25 March 1914 as one of several intermediate stations built when Japanese Government Railways extended the Tokushima Main Line from Awa-Yamakawa to Awa-Ikeda. Operation passed to Japanese National Railways and, at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, to JR Shikoku. The line was renamed the Tokushima Line on 1 June 1988. The station today is unstaffed, with a small building serving only as a waiting room set at a lower level than the tracks; an underpass with steps leads up to the island platform serving two tracks. A siding branches off track 1, and the surrounding views look down on the Yoshino River and Higashimiyoshi Bridge.
